Here is a quick example to learn how to create an Under Construction page with jquery
Code Html and Javascript :
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" />
<title>Under Construction Page From Depot Webdesigner</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="css/paper.css" type="text/css" />
<script type="text/javascript" src="js/jquery.min.js" ></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="js/jquery.countdown.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(function () {
var liftoffTime = new Date(2010, 9 - 1, 14, 13, 00);
$('#counter').countdown({until: liftoffTime,
layout: '<div class="blockTime"><div class="blockLeft"><h1 class="titleH1">{dl}</h1><div class="contentBlockLeft"> <h1>{dn}</h1> </div></div> <div class="blockLeft"><h1 class="titleH1">{hl}</h1> <div class="contentBlockLeft"><h1>{hn}</h1></div></div> <div class="blockLeft"><h1 class="titleH1">{ml}</h1><div class="contentBlockLeft"> <h1>{mnn}</h1></div></div> <div class="blockLeft"><h1 class="titleH1">{sl}</h1><div class="contentBlockLeft"> <h1>{snn}</h1></div></div></div>'});
});
</script>
</head>
<body>
<div id="container">
<div class="intro_text">
<h1>Website under construction. We will be live soon! </h1></div>
<div class="countdown">
<h1>We expect an official launch in</h1>
<div id="counter"></div>
</div>
<div class="status"> </div>
</div>
<!--end container-->
</body>
</html>
You can adjust the date from:
var liftoffTime = new Date(2010, 9 - 1, 14, 13, 00);
